truly remarkable.
Also, Rolo, Marina. You are not allowed to use partymode.org to flirt with each other. "Join you for a rousing game of settlers" Have you no shame, sir?!? This is a family website! Oh, by the way... bunny suicides.
welcome to the 'mode, marina. i wish i could join you all for a rousing game of settlers tonight.
on the jesus theme: Jesus was in the mafia.
also, it looks like I'm going to become a certified welder this summer! I'm going to take a welding class at Anne Arundel Community College, because we need a welder around the farm. i'm looking forward.
There's an article about the American Appearel guy on the NYTimes: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/23/magazine/23apparel.html
I haven't read the whole thing yet, but I like this quote a lot:
Charney is equally savvy about his social mission. His efforts to provide a humane environment for his workers and to pay them well are laudable, but Charney also understands the way that political gestures and activism have become yoked to certain modes of consumerism. We now live in a time when buying a rubber bracelet is considered enough to make you feel as if you've made a meaningful contribution to the fight against cancer and when shopping at Whole Foods is sufficient to affirm your commitment against industrial agribusiness.
hello partymoders.
i just can't keep away any longer! anyone up for a game of settlers on monday night? i hear you guys need help keeping josh in line with that monopoly card shit he likes to pull. what do say? 5ish? 6ish?

Oh man... I hope this link for you guys, but I really like this advertising for AMD in the top right corner... mouse over it... and magic!
Also, for Zach:
Sermon #37 from childsermons.com

Dinosaur!
"Summary: Jesus made the dinosaurs. The Bible speaks of two creatures in particular.
...Some movies try to tell us that humans evolved from non-living stuff. That has never been observed. They pretend to make dinosaurs from dead tissue. That has never been done. ...God created us in the beginning. In fact, Jesus created all creatures, including the dinosaurs. ...Dinosaurs have never ruled the earth; mankind was given that task by God."
Who knew Jurrasic Park was blasphemous secular nonsense? Then even worse:
http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/giants.htm
"This means that dinosaurs occupied the arbitrary and spurious "cretaceous" period of geological history. Human prints contemporary with dinosaurs contradict modern evolution theories because mankind was not to evolve for another 75 to 100 million years." empasis added.
EDIT: The internet is strange, that last page led me to a site on a Nazi giant:

and this:
http://scripturist.org/2005/12/have-you-read-news-today.html
"Today many teach that there is global warming and that the polar ice caps will melt and flood the whole earth like the movie Water World. It's funny because these same skeptics of the Bible will ask where all the water from the flood went. That is easy. After the flood God created the four seasons by tilting the earth and the extra water froze in the polar ice caps. But I know as a Christian the polar ice caps wont melt and flood the whole earth because God said there will never by another world wide flood. Global warming is an unproven theory based on bad science."
An awesome article from the Washington Post. Junk yards competing in on-line auctions for wrecked cars from the D.C. area:
"Before him: photos and descriptions of the smashed cars that attract bids from countries that two years ago he couldn't have imagined bidding against: Ukraine . . . Lebanon . . . the United Arab Emirates . . . Nigeria . . . Bolivia. Bidders from countries such as these have figured out how to buy Washington's damaged cars, ship them overseas, repair them and sell them for a profit."
Maybe the global car industry is the microbrew car industry. Anyone know any good references for car manufacturing and repair around the world? Also a good example of the world living on our garbage:
"In one way, the Washington area remains a good place to be a salvage dealer: Lots of people wreck lots of nice cars."
